What's New Exhibit:
Featuring newly acquired items from 2013 - 2014
January 7, 2015 – March 22, 2015
|
This exhibition allows visitors a chance to view some of the artifacts that the Museum acquired in the 2013 - 2014 years. Often, the Museum accessions new artifacts and then will not have the opportunity to display them until much later due to pre-determined exhibit schedules and a myriad of other factors. Before our artifacts are accessioned, catalogued, and properly placed within the confines of our Collections Storage Room, we are providing Museum visitors with a first glance at the new artifacts that have found their final home here, at the Museum on Tower Hill.
The "What's New!" exhibit will be an annual exhibit which will feature newly acquired artifacts from the previous year and will be on display every January for the duration of two months. |
